Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme

9:00 am

Mr. John O'Sullivan:

The overall figure for appeals to the valuation tribunal was 4.37%. Of the appeals that go to the tribunal we continue to be in dialogue with either the ratepayer or his or her representative throughout the process. Based on the statistics we have approximately 70% to 80% of the 4.37% of cases would not go to a hearing before the tribunal. In other words, we will agree it or the case will be withdrawn or something will happen that will not merit the case being heard.
